Operations Process Chart
A.K.A. Outline Process Chart
An operation process that gives the
bird’s eye view of the whole process
by recording only the major
activities and inspections involved in
the process.
Is helpful to
the complete

It is the amplification of the OPC in
which operations, inspection,
storage, delay, and transportation
are represented.FPC

FPC is useful:
to reduce the distance travelled by men (or materials).
to avoid waiting time and unnecessary delays.
to reduce the cycle time by combining or eliminating
operations.
to fix up the sequence of operations.
to relocate the inspection stages.

16. MACRO MOTION CHARTS
Two Handed Process Chart
Is the most detailed type of flow
chart in which the activities of the
workers hands are recorded in
relation to one another.
THPC
Application of THPC are:
to visualize the complete sequence of activities in a
repetitive task.
to study the work station layout.
18. MACRO MOTION CHARTS
Multiple Activity Chart
It is a chart where activities of more
than subject (worker or equipment)
are each recorded on a common
time scale to show their inter-
relationship.
MAC
MAC is made:
to study idle time of the man and machines;
to determine number of machines handled by one
operator, and
to determine number of operators required in
teamwork to perform the given job.

Flow Diagram
Diagrams Used in
Method Study
23. The layout of the workplace is drawn to scale.Relative positions of the machine tools, work benches, and inspection benches are marked on the scale.Path followed by the subject under study is tracked by drawing lines.Each movement is serially numbered and indicated by arrow for direction.Different colors are used to denote different types of movements.

Is a scale layout drawing on which, length
of a string is used to record the extent as
well as the pattern of movement of a
worker working within a limited area
during a certain period of time.
String Diagram
Diagrams Used in
Method Study One of the most valuable feature of the string
diagram is the actual distance travelled during
the period of study to be calculated by relating
the length of the thread used to the scale of
drawing.

between different layouts or methods of doing
job in terms of the travelling involved.

25. TO ILLUSTRATE
A layout of the work place of factory is
drawn to scale on the soft board.
Pins are fixed into boards to mark the
locations of work stations, pins are also
driven at the turning points of the
routes.
A measured length of thread is taken
to trace the movements (path).

WE MUST KNOW
FUNDAMENTAL HAND MOTIONS (THERBLIG ANALYSIS)
Therblig: the system of symbols that represent every
elementary of hand / arm and eye movements.
Therblig was the creation of
Frank Bunker Gilberth
1868 - 1924
28. THREE CATEGORIES OF THERBLIG
Motions required for performing an operation:
• Transport Empty (TE)
• Grasp (G)
• Transport Loaded (TL)
• Position (P)
• Use (U)
• Assemble (A)
• Disassemble (DA)
• Release Load (RL)
• Inspect (I)
Motions that tend to slow down type 1 motion:
• Search (SH)
• Find (F)
• Select (ST)
• Plan (PN)
• Pre-position (PP)
Motions that do not perform an operation:
• Hold (H)
• Unavoidable Delay (UD)
• Rest (R)
31. SIMO
CHART
Often based on film analysis used to record simultaneously on a
common time scale the Therblig or group of Therbligs performed by
different parts of the body of one or more operators.
the time scale is represented in winks (1/2000 of a minute).
Used primarily for operations of short duration, often performed with
extreme rapidity.
it is generally necessary to compile them from films made of the operation
which can be stopped at any point or projected in slow motion.
32. SIMO
CHART
Basic steps
• See motions made by the operator’s right and left
hands
• Notice what the fingers of each hand do
• Detect where one motion ends and another
begins
• Judge the lengths of motions
• Estimate times of the motions
34. MOTION
STUDY
Is part of method study where
analysis of the motion of an
operator or work will be studied
35. PRINCIPLES OF
MOTION
STUDY
A. Use of the human body
B. Arrangement of workplace
C. Design of tools and equipment
By Barnes, Maynard, and others.
36. USE OF
HUMAN BODY
1. The two hands should begin and complete their movements at the same time.
2. The two hands should not be idle at the same time except during period of rest.
3. Motions of the arms should be made simultaneously.
4. Hand and body motions should be made at the lowest classification at which it is possible to do
the work satisfactorily.
5. Momentum should be employed to help the worker, but should be reduced to a minimum
whenever it has to be overcome by muscular effort.
6. Continuous curved movements are to be preferred to straight line motions involving sudden and
changed in directions.
7. ‘Ballistic’ (i.e. free swinging) movements are faster, easier and more accurate than restricted or
controlled movements.
8. Rhythm is essential to the smooth and automatic performance of a repetitive operation. The
work should be arranged to permit easy and natural rhythm wherever possible.
9. Work should be arranged so that eye movement are confined to a comfortable area, without the
need for frequent changes of focus
37. 1. Definite and fixed stations should be provided for all tools and materials to permit habit
formation.
2. Tools and materials should be pre-positioned to reduce searching.
3. Gravity fed, bins and containers should be used to deliver the materials as close to the point of
use as possible.
4. Tools, materials and controls should be located within a maximum working are and as near to the
worker as possible.
5. Materials and tools should be arranged to permit the best sequence of motions.
6. ‘Drop deliveries’ or ejectors should be used wherever possible, so that the operative does not
have to use his hands to dispose of finished parts.
7. Provision should be made for adequate lightning, and a chair of type and height to permit good
posture should be provided. The height of the workplace and seat should be arranged to allow
alternate standing and seating.
ARRANGEMENT OF
THE WORKPLACE
38. DESIGN OF TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT
1. The color of the workplace should contrast with that of work and thus reduce eye fatigue.
2. The hands should be relieved of all work of ‘holding’ the work piece where this can be done by a
jig or fixture or foot operated device.
3. Two or more tools should be combined where possible.
4. Where each finger performs some specific movement, as in typewriting, the load should be
distributed in accordance with inherent capacities of the fingers.
5. Handles such as those used on screw drivers and cranks should be designed to permit maximum
surface of the hand to come in contact with the handle.
6. Levers, cross bars and wheel bars should be in such position that operator can manipulate them
with least body change and with greatest mechanical advantage.
39. TIME STUDY
The application of techniques designed to establish the time for a
qualified worker to carry out a specified job at a defined level of
performance.
40. STEPS IN
MAKING TIME STUDY
1. Select the work to be studied.
2. Obtain and record all the information available about the job, the operator and the working
conditions likely to affect the time study work.
3. Breakdown the operation into elements. An element is an instinct part of a specified activity
composed of one or more fundamental motions selected for convenience of observation and
timing.
4. Measure the time by means of a stop watch taken by the operator to perform each element of
the operation.
5. At the same time, assess the operators effective speed of work relative to the observer’s concept
of ‘normal’ speed. This is called performance rating.
6. Adjust the observed time by rating factor to obtain normal time for each element
Normal time =
Observed time x Rating
100
41. STEPS IN
MAKING TIME STUDY
7. Add the suitable allowances to compensate for fatigue, personal needs, contingencies, etc. to give
standard time for each element.
8. Compute allowed time for the entire job by adding elemental standard times considering
frequency of occurrence of each element.
9. Make a detailed job description describing the method for which the standard time is established.
10. Test and review standards wherever necessary.
42. COMPUTATION OF
STANDARD TIME
Standard time is the time allowed to an operator to carry out the specified task
under specified conditions and defined level of performance.
43. Standard time = Normal time + Various allowances
Normal time =
Observed time x Rating
100
OT – Observed Time
PRF – Performance Rating Factor
NT – Normal Time
PA – Process Allowances
RPA – Rest and Personal Allowances
SA – Special Allowances
PoA – Policy Allowances
